History
Keiji Inafune founded Comcept after his departure from Capcom in December 2010.. After the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3, which he mentioned as a "long-time held dream", he thought that "not only had he abandoned himself, but the fans too". The studio is largely composed of veteran staff who worked on Mega Man, but also young staff who grew up with the franchise.
In September 2012, the team's first project was revealed as a new Ninja Gaiden title, named Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, released in March 2014.
In 2013, Comcept helped Sony Computer Entertainment and their Japan Studio designing the PlayStation Vita video game Soul Sacrifice and will continue with its sequel, Soul Sacrifice Delta.
At PAX Prime 2013, Keiji Inafune held a special panel in order to reveal a brand new project called Mighty No. 9, a spiritual successor to Mega Man. At the end of the panel, Inafune officially launched the game's Kickstarter campaign. He thought that Kickstarter is a great way to make dreams a reality. After a highly successful campaign and several delays, the game was released in 2016. It was met with a mediocre critical reception for its level of quality and gameplay.
